In a previous post, 5 Random Things That Irritate The Hell Out Of Me, I asked why the Sharpie was often referred to as a "magic marker" as I've never witnessed it doing anything super spectacular. Well... maybe I'm being proved wrong with this one.

An inexpensive, easy and creative way to express yourself this holiday season -- the sharpie mug! Instructions so easy to follow, even a novice craftsman could handle this one...

Put a Sharpie marker to a white mug. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Done.

Personally, I think this can be a GREAT gift for grandparents if you are adventurous enough to let your kids get their hands on the markers. Write a nice message, date the bottom for a keepsake, fill them with treats and VOILA...what a perfect gift!

You can even spice it up a bit and use other dinnerware or colored Sharpies!
